Thinking of this, Tang Youyou looked at Yue Fusheng beside her, then glanced at the talisman paper in his hand, and said with a half - smile, "So you believed their nonsense?"
Hearing this, Yue Fusheng quickly waved his hand. He was so nervous that he stammered, "Your Majesty the Queen, your subordinate just didn't want you to see these filthy things, so I chose to burn them in a deserted place."
So that's it. It seems there are quite a few rumors this time.
If, as the ancients said, rumors stop at the wise, it's nonsense. Rumors can't stop the wise, but they can shut the mouths of fools.
Spreading rumors, huh? Want to play, huh? Tang Youyou was not afraid of trouble at all.
Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on her lips.
Yue Fusheng beside her saw her smiling so strangely that a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, and he couldn't help trembling all over.
He thought to himself: What on earth is this little devil up to? Alas, how pitiful.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help shaking his head. And not long after, he would feel embarrassed because of that thought of "pitiful" in his mind.
The two returned to the Qingliang Palace. Yue Fusheng thought that Tang Youyou would fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, as soon as she got back, she lay down and fell asleep soundly.
It seemed that he had set his expectations for Tang Youyou too high. In a blink of an eye, Yue Fusheng rummaged through all the superstitious stuff hidden in the Qingliang Palace and threw them all out.
Even Qingyu, who was waiting at the door, couldn't help shaking her head. "Yue Fusheng, why is the Queen so calm? She has become notorious in the harem."
After her words, Yue Fusheng just let out a long sigh helplessly. He knew Tang Youyou's temper well. Once she believed in a principle, she would stick to it. How could she listen to others?
"Forget it. The Queen must have her own plans. It's no use for us to worry here. We might as well throw out all these servants' things to avoid getting on the Queen's nerves."
That was all they said. They didn't notice that there was a man in black eavesdropping in a corner in the distance for a long time.
The man turned around and left the Qingliang Palace. He carefully came to a palace in the imperial court. He looked up at the woman sitting high on the throne with fear and panic on his face.
"Your Ladyship, the thing you told this slave to do has been properly arranged. If you have no other orders, please spare this slave's family. Even if you want to torture this slave to death, it's okay!"
Hearing this, the woman sitting on the throne let out a cold laugh. Her laugh was extremely sinister, making everyone who heard it shiver. This crazy laugh made the man shut his mouth instantly in fear.
The woman said, "Are you really not going to tell anyone about this?"
The man immediately shook his head and nervously said, "This slave will definitely not tell anyone. This slave is willing to guarantee with his own life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman slowly walked up to the man. There was a dagger behind her back, a dagger that could cut through iron. The next moment, with a wave of her hand, the man's head rolled off.
Blood spurted up to three feet high in an instant, splashing all over her body. But this woman had a terrifying smile on her face, which sent chills down people's spines.
In just a short while, the room returned to calm again.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Tang Youyou's stomach began to growl. The feeling of hunger made her feel uncomfortable all over.
She finally got out of bed. Looking at the maids who had been waiting below for a long time, she gently shook her head.
This sleep had been really long. Before she knew it, it was already this late.
Then, she slowly got out of bed. Looking at the table in front of her, which was filled with delicious food, her dull eyes suddenly lit up.
So this was the feeling of having a pillow just when you were sleepy. Wonderful!
It was simply wonderful!
She ran bare - footed to the dining table, ignoring the maids' dissuasion. Just as she picked up the chopsticks on the table and was about to have a big meal, the door of the main hall was kicked open.
A group of men in brown official robes came in. To be exact, they were eunuchs.
Suddenly, Tang Youyou, who had a great appetite just now, frowned. She looked up at the eunuch who led the group, then lazily slumped on the chair. She raised her phoenix - like eyes with a strange light and brazenly sized him up.
"I wonder what important business brought you, esteemed eunuch, to barge into my palace like this?"
Tang Youyou's words were full of arrogance and unruly. She never showed the slightest respect or courtesy to those who "came uninvited".
The leader was also full of hostility. He looked at Tang Youyou directly with arrogance and disdain, showing a sly and unruly smile.
"Your Majesty the Queen, this slave is just following orders. There's a matter related to you. So this slave came here to ask you about it."
Tang Youyou suddenly lowered her head and started to play with her fingernails.
Hearing this, Yue Fusheng beside her was slightly stunned at first, and then a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He recognized this man as the most powerful eunuch, Eunuch Yin Jianchen.
Just as he was about to step forward, Yue Fusheng subconsciously blocked in front of Tang Youyou. But the next moment, Tang Youyou stood up straight and walked towards Eunuch Yin.
She tilted her head. There was a glint in her eyes. Although she was smiling, it made everyone present, including Eunuch Yin, feel a shock in their hearts.
After all, Yin Jianchen knew very little about this rumored Queen. He couldn't figure out her personality at all. But years of vigilance made him understand that this Queen, who was called a fool by outsiders, must not be a simple person.
After thinking about it, the expression on his face changed several times. He glanced at the aggressive Yue Fusheng, frowned and said, "Your Majesty the Queen, this slave is just handling the case impartially. Please understand."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou finally spoke leisurely. She gently pushed aside Yue Fusheng who was blocking in front of her and said coldly with a sneer.
"Understand? I understand you, but who will understand me? Without any evidence, how can you, a eunuch, arrest me? How dare you act so presumptuously in my territory! One moment you call yourself a slave, and the next moment you call yourself 'this one'. Do you really think I'm just a decoration sitting here? You said you're acting on orders. Then I'll ask you, whose order are you following!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
